I do love Fuyu persimmons and have several friends that share with me when their trees are loaded. One of Carol's neighbors has a tree in their front yard and I don't think they eat them. So, every year I knock and ask if I can pick some and they always say "help yourself" and I do! The smallish trees are rather nondescript, but have nice shiny oval leaves. Fuyus are best eaten when they are crisp and hard, like an apple, but you can also let them riipen until they are soft like the hachiya persimmons and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. This can be used in cookies and puddings, however the hachiyas are a better choice for that.
